Iconic Bollywood actress Sharmila Tagore and cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi make up one of the earliest examples of Bollywood-cricket power couples. At the pinnacle of her acting career, Sharmila married Mansoor, and together they have three children – Soha, Saba, and Saif. In a recent interview, daughter Soha revealed that her father had hoped she would be a son when she was born.
According to News18, Soha Ali Khan revealed that upon her birth, her father was filled with such exhilaration that he enthusiastically dashed through the hospital hallways, announcing his plans to turn “her” into a swift bowler.
Yet, when they learned she was a girl instead, the initial thought waned due to the scarce prospects for females in cricket during that era. She mentioned that if the situation were like today, perhaps her family would have encouraged her as a potential bowler.
In the course of the same conversation, Soha shared that despite not having been taught cricket, she’s discovered a deep affection for sports, specifically badminton. She elaborated by stating that although she didn’t receive formal training in cricket, growing up in a sporty environment significantly influenced her love for sports.
The actress from Chhorii 2 emphasized that maintaining physical fitness has always been important in the Pataudi family, not just for appearances, but to build strength. Furthermore, she and her partner, Kunal, strive to pass on these same principles to their daughter, Inaaya.
During the interview, Soha shared that whereas some families often aspire for their daughters to exhibit good manners and their sons to display strength, her family focuses on nurturing their daughter to become strong and self-reliant instead.
Soha wants her daughter to become independent and strong enough to safeguard herself without needing others. She underscores the significance of fostering her daughter’s mental fortitude and self-assurance, so that when she encounters an awkward situation, she can summon the confidence and bravery required to take a stand for herself.
In terms of her career, Khan has lately been seen in the thriller “Chhorii 2” on Amazon Prime Video, sharing screen time with Nushrratt Bharuccha. At present, you can stream this movie on their platform.
